AI just rewrote the offense-defense balance in cybersecurity. Jim Sherlock, VP of AI & Cybersecurity R&D at ProCircular, joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to explain why a penetration test report is stale within a week of delivery, why annual scans no longer protect anyone, and why the only realistic counter to offensive AI is defensive AI. Drawing on nearly 30 years across DISA, SIPRNet, Pearson's cloud migration, and now ProCircular's offensive and application security teams, Jim breaks down the new threat economics for small and mid-sized businesses: attackers chaining low- and medium-severity findings into critical breaches at machine speed, the case for risk-transfer to SaaS and the cloud, why every SMB still needs a vCISO, patch cadence, and a real incident-response plan, and the Log4j war story that proved why asset visibility is non-negotiable.
